In 2019, the World Health Organization estimated that one third of global deaths were caused by compromised cardiovascular health. Of these deaths, 85% were due to heart attack and stroke. A low folate status together with elevated homocysteine may constitute a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
The new video, available on the new dedicated Quatrefolic® YouTube channel, simply and directly explains why Quatrefolic® supplementation is a conscious wellness choice, an ally in healthy aging to protect our cardiovascular system.
How may Quatrefolic® support cardiovascular health?
Individuals deficient in folate will accumulate high blood levels of homocysteine, which has been clinically recognized as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Appropriate dietary intake of folate supports cardiovascular health, helping to maintain normal homocysteine plasma concentrations.
Quatrefolic®, at a usual dosage of 400 µg, has been clinically demonstrated to normalize homocysteine plasma levels, better than highly dosed folic acid (5 mg). The study published by Mazza et al. 2016, has taken into consideration hypertensive subjects at low cardiovascular risk and demonstrates Quatrefolic® is effective in 55,8% of cases.
